Interface FormatterFacade

A facade to access the formatters from client code. The idea is that for a column the resolveFormattingInfo method is used to lookup a matching formatter for the column values. This formatting infos can be used during column rendering to trigger the formatters.

interface FormatterFacade {
    format(values: any[], options: FormattingInfo): string;
    hasFormatter(formatterId: string): boolean;
    resolveFormattingInfo(fields: FieldData[], context: {
        dataSourceId: string;
        isDomainValueField(fieldName: string): boolean;
        resolveDefaultOptions?(fieldName: string): undefined | FormatterOptions;
    }): undefined | FormattingInfo;
}
